Great guide!

Yes, great guide — thank you! Nespresso uses Flash and you can’t upres it, so not only is it difficult to read, but you can’t copy and paste the capsule names onto a sheet of paper so you can create your own little tasting guide. This was perfect and saved me some squinting and typing and wondering. Thanks again.

If you didn’t know already “Lungo” means a tall coffee.
(What Starbucks call an Americano, I guess).

I don’t understand the names, ex what does Finezzo means?
